"Born to Be with You" is a song written by Don Robertson. It was published in 1956.

The biggest hit version (#5 on the pop charts) was by The Chordettes in 1956. In 1968, Sonny James recorded a version of the song which reached number one on the country charts.[1] In 1973, Dave Edmunds had a UK Top 5 hit with the song, using his then popular "wall of sound" technique, borrowed from Phil Spector. Steel-string acoustic guitarist Leo Kottke included his rendition of the song on his 1974 album, Ice Water.[2] It would be the title track for an album released by Dion DiMucci in 1975. Country singer Sandy Posey released the song in 1978 and it went to #21 on the country charts. Anne Murray recorded a cover of the song for her album Croonin' (1993).
